Fraduʹbio [Brother Doubt]
,says Spenser, wooed and won Duessa (False-faith); but one day, while she was bathing, discovered her to be a “filthy old hag,” and resolved to leave her. False-faith instantly metamorphosed him into a tree, and he will never be relieved till “he can be bathed from the well of living water.” (Faërie Queene, book i. 2.)
